چکیده

We study a model for the mass matrices of the leptons. We are able to relate the mass eigenvalues of the charged leptons and of the neutrinos to the mixing angles and can predict the masses of the neutrinos. We find a normal hierarchy the masses are 0.004 eV, 0.01 eV and 0.05 eV. The atmospheric mixing angle is given by the mass ratios of the charged leptons and the neutrinos. We find 38 degrees, consistent with the experiments. The mixing element, connecting the first neutrino with the electron, is found to be 0.05. We observe three lepton-quark families in nature. The first family consists of the electron, its neutrino and the uand d-quarks. The members of the second family are the muon, its neutrino and the cand s-quarks. The third family consists of the tauon, its neutrino and the tand b-quarks. It is unknown, whether there is a connection between the number of families and the number of colors in quantum chromodynamics. In the Standard Model 28 fundamental constants have to be introduced. Their values cannot be calculated they have to be measured in the experiments. Theses constants are: • the constant of gravity G, • the fine structure constant, • the coupling constant of the weak interactions, • the coupling constant of the strong interactions or the scale of QCD, • the mass of the W-boson, • the mass of the “Higgs”-boson, • the masses of the three charged leptons, • the masses of the three neutrinos,

Hierarchical Neutrino Masses and Large Mixing Angles from the Fritzsch Texture of Lepton Mass Matrices

We show that the Fritzsch texture of lepton mass matrices can naturally lead to the bi-large flavor mixing pattern, if three neutrinos have a normal but weak mass hierarchy (typically, m1 : m2 : m3 ∼ 1 : 3 : 10). The effective mass of the tritium beta decay and that of the neutrinoless double beta decay are too small to be observable in this ansatz, but CP violation at the percent level is allo...

Structures of neutrino flavor mixing matrix and neutrino oscillations at CHORUS and NOMAD.

We have studied structures of the neutrino flavor mixing matrix focusing on the neutrino oscillations at CHORUS and NOMAD as well as the one at LSND(or KARMEN). We have assumed two typical neutrino mass hierarchies m3 ' m2 m1 and m3 m2 m1(or ' m1). Taking into account the see-saw mechanism of neutrino masses, the reasonable neutrino flavor mixing patterns have been discussed. The observation of...

We introduce a simple flavor symmetry breaking scheme, in which charged lepton masses have a strong hierarchy and neutrino masses are almost degenerate. It is possible to obtain a natural suppression of lepton flavor mixing between the 1st and 3rd families as well as the approximate decoupling of atmospheric and solar neutrino oscillations with nearly bi-maximal mixing factors. The similarity a...

Study of Low-Energy Neutrino Factory at the Fermilab to DUSEL Baseline

It has been over ten years since the discovery of neutrino oscillations [1] established the existence of neutrino masses and leptonic mixing. Neutrino oscillations thus provide the first evidence of particle physics beyond the Standard Model. Most of the present neutrino oscillation data are well described by the 3ν mixing model. While a number of the parameters in this model have already been ...

Wolfenstein-like Parametrization of the Neutrino Mixing Matrix

We show that the 3× 3 lepton flavor mixing matrix V can be expanded in powers of a Wolfenstein-like parameter Λ ≡ |Vμ3| ∼ 1/ √ 2 , which measures the strength of flavor conversion in atmospheric neutrino oscillations. The term of O(Λ2) is responsible for the large flavor mixing in solar neutrino oscillations. The Dirac phase of CP violation enters at or below O(Λ6), and the Majorana phases of C...

I mainly describe neutrino masses and oscillations in the gauge model with SO(3) F lepton flavor symmetry and with two Higgs triplets. It is shown how the maximal mixing between ν µ and ν τ neutrinos comes out naturally after spontaneous breaking of the symmetry. The nearly two-flavor mixing scenario is resulted naturally from an approximate permutation symmetry between the two Higgs triplets. ...
